In First Sunday Dartboard Contest

It's been five weeks since we launched our Sunday Investment Dartboard contest, and so far the darts are trouncing the readers.

As of Friday's close, the six reader choices -- mostly tech stocks -- were down an average 8.8%. The six dart stocks, which were selected at random by our staff tossing darts at a stock chart, are up an average 6.2%.
